Title: Uni-t UT136B questions
Post by: UberStrike88 on October 12, 2014, 08:45:00 am
Hello guys,

I would like to ask some questions about this multimeter .
Well i would like to know if it autoranges fast and gives good readings. and if it has all the functionality that you need
Because i'm going to use this as my main multimeter for 1 month unil i'll buy a UT61X(anyone knows the differences between A,B,C,D,E?)

Thanks for reading

Regards,

I already told you about the model differences in a PM, so why ask here again?

A, simple model, B has capacitance, C has temperature, and D has a non contact voltage detector.

It is reasonably fast as you can see in my video. This is a $20 class multimeter and you can't expect to get picky about performance. It works, not badly built, and is cheap. What else do you really need to know after watching my review video?

I agree with Lightages. The meter is a good deal for the price its at. (under $17,- delivered  :-DD)
But it is still a $20 class meter, so don't expect it to be the duck's guts. But for general use as a second of third meter, rock on.

My apologies. I misread your question. If you are asking about the differences in the UT61 series, the biggest difference is that all the ones that are not the UT61E are not worth the money IMHO. In the same price range, I think I would rather have the new UT139C. It is built more safely, has a back light, non-contact voltage detector, temperature and seems to be the better buy to me. If you need the PC logging feature well then the the UT61E might be better.
